How reliable a source can we consider this to be? She was buying a

saw one.

Whatever. I don't understand the 'available light' dogma. I'm with Eugene
Smith on the matter.


Just as reliable as all the other propagandistic "advice" that dSLR
advocates
hand out. I was waiting to see if anyone would notice the blatant error of
their
"proof". :-) Couch-potato photographers always slip up in their facts when
all
they have for reference in life is what they read online, in lieu of any
real-life experience with anything related to the topic.


You are an ignorant and unmannered person. Blatant error of "their proof".
What arrogant nonsense. The quote was not proof of anything, it was a quote
from an article by Jane Bown. This photographer is now 82 years old and far
from being a "couch potato photographer" she has photographed more
personalities than you could shake a stick at. She doesn't need to prove
anything, certainly not to idiots like you.


I never alluded to, nor directly said that, Jane Brown was the couch-potato
photographer without any real-life experience. (Read what I said again.) Any
real photographer would have immediately noticed the error (or misquoting?) of
her statement and would have never used it as a reference for anything. My
comments refer to you and -hh alone. And rightly so, since neither of you
noticed it. :-)

Your over-reactive defensiveness speaks tomes about you. (i.e. Methinks thou
dost protest too much.)

*poof*, there just went any credibility of anything you or -hh have ever said
online

That was fun.
